    Abstract: The systems and methods described herein provide a traveling wave launcher system physically and communicably coupled to a semiconductor package and to a waveguide connector. The traveling wave launcher system includes a slot-line signal converter and a tapered slot launcher. The slot-line signal converter may be formed integral with the semiconductor package and includes a balun structure that converts the microstrip signal to a slot-line signal. The tapered slot launcher is communicably coupled to the slot-line signal converter and includes a planar first member and a planar second member that form a slot. The tapered slot launcher converts the slot-line signal to a traveling wave signal that is propagated to the waveguide connector.

    Abstract: Systems and methods describe herein provide a solution to the technical problem of creating a wearable electronic devices. In particular, these systems and methods enable electrical and mechanical attachment of stretchable or flexible electronics to fabric. A stretchable or flexible electronic platform is bonded to fabric using a double-sided fabric adhesive, and conductive adhesive is used to join pads on the electronic platform to corresponding electrical leads on the fabric. An additional waterproofing material may be used over and beneath the electronic platform to provide a water-resistant or waterproof device This stretchable or flexible electronic platform integration process allows the platform to bend and move with the fabric while protecting the conductive connections. By using flexible and stretchable conductive leads and adhesives, the platform is more flexible and stretchable than traditional rigid electronics enclosures.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention describe hermetic encapsulation for MEMS devices, and processes to create the hermetic encapsulation structure. Embodiments comprise a MEMS substrate stack that further includes a magnet, a first laminate organic dielectric film, a first hermetic coating disposed over the magnet, a second laminate organic dielectric film disposed on the hermetic coating, a MEMS device layer disposed over the magnet, and a plurality of metal interconnects surrounding the MEMS device layer. A hermetic plate is subsequently bonded to the MEMS substrate stack and disposed over the formed MEMS device layer to at least partially form a hermetically encapsulated cavity surrounding the MEMS device layer. In various embodiments, the hermetically encapsulated cavity is further formed from the first hermetic coating, and at least one of the set of metal interconnects, or a second hermetic coating deposited onto the set of metal interconnects.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure may relate to a transceiver to transmit and receive concurrently radio frequency (RF) signals via a dielectric waveguide. In embodiments, the transceiver may include a transmitter to transmit to a paired transceiver a channelized radio frequency (RF) transmit signal via the dielectric waveguide. A receiver may receive from the paired transceiver a channelized RF receive signal via the dielectric waveguide. In embodiments, the channelized RF receive signal may include an echo of the channelized RF transmit signal. The transceiver may further include an echo suppression circuit to suppress from the channelized RF receive signal the echo of the channelized RF transmit signal. In some embodiments, the channelized RF transmit signal and the channelized RF receive signal may be within a frequency range of approximately 30 gigahertz (GHz) to approximately 1 terahertz (THz), and the transceiver may provide full-duplex millimeter-wave communication.
